Fans Say Rihanna Looks Like an ‘Actual Barbie Doll’ in Unearthed High School Photo

Rihanna has quite literally, always been stunning, as evidenced by a new photo of her during her teenage years.

While the Bajan superstar may currently be galavanting around her home country of Barbados during this year’s Grand Kadooment amid the country’s Crop Over celebration, a years-old, equally as glamorous pre-fame photo of her from when she was just a teen has been making its rounds on social media.

In the unearthed snapshot, the “Diamonds” hitmaker can be seen dressed up in full hair and makeup, donning a green gown with gold embellishments. Her ensemble was complete by a matching necklace and a tiara worn atop her head as she was crowned winner of her high school beauty pageant in 2004.

As she held a bouquet of flowers and smiled wide for the camera amid receiving the honor, the singer’s dad, Ronald Fenty, joined her in the capture, standing just behind the then-16-year-old as she carried several trophies in arm.

“Rihanna winning her high school beauty pageant (2004),” the Aug. 6 upload was captioned on Threads.

In the comments, fans raved over how “beautiful” the “Rude Boy” songstress looked for the special occasion.

“She looks like an actual Barbie doll,” one wrote, as another agreed, “so well deserved. Black Barbie 🖤.”

A third insisted, “Her green dress makes her look like Princess Tiana,” the animated character who made history as the first Black Disney princess.

Meanwhile, several more were convinced she looks “the same” or commented on the striking resemblance between the father-daughter duo, even mentioning how strong the Fenty genes are.

“Riot looks just like his pop pop,” one pointed out, with another chiming in, “Wow her sons look like her father. The genes are super strong on his side then.”
